Winners in the 28th annual Pie in the Park pie-baking contest were announced Thursday night in Campbell Park.

Cut Crisco into the flour mixture. Add ice water to 1/3 cup of flour, then work this mixture in with the rest of the flour mixture.

Pie filling:

5 to 6 Golden Delicious apples

1 cup sugar

2 Tablespoons flour

Sprinkle with cinnamon

Mix well and put into crust. Add top crust. Bake at 375 degrees F for 50 to 60 minutes until brown.

Fourth place

Double Surprise Lemon Pie

Nancy Tofflemire

of Huron

Flaky pastry for 2-crust pie:

2 cups sifted flour

1 teaspoon salt

¾ cup vegetable shortening or 2/3 cup lard

4 to 5 Tablespoons cold water

Combine flour and salt in mixing bowl. Cut in shortening with pastry blender or with two knives until mixture is the consistency of coarse cornmeal or tiny peas.

Sprinkle in cold water, 1 Tablespoon at a time, tossing mixture lightly and stirring with fork. Add water each time to the driest part of the mixture. The dough should be just moist enough to hold together when pressed gently with a fork. It should not be sticky.

Shape dough in smooth ball with hands, and roll. Of if you are not ready to make the pie, wrap it in waxed paper and refrigerate 30 minutes or until ready to fill and bake pie.
